The second which is more aimed at the OSMF board or probably Dorothea is
the current instructions to make a donation cannot be followed as they
stand for everyone. The reference field is simply too short for many
users.<br clear="none">

It also needs clarifying should you put in your name as the instructions
currently say or your OSM username?<br clear="none">

The stupid question on names is which characters can be entered? This

I think once the donation instructions are clarified and corrected then
that is the time to put something in OSMweekly.<br clear="none">

weeklyOSM had a mention that OSM now accepts donations via bank
transfer. What wasn't mentioned was for those of us who have a
transferwise account the transfer is free.<br clear="none">

The process is you do a normal transfer of £15 and ignore the fee. When
you put in the bank account details it recognises it is transferring to
a transferwise account and removes the fee.<br clear="none">

One problem is the length of the reference field<br clear="none">

"donation Johnwhelan" doesn't fit. "Don Johnwhelan" does so perhaps
change the instructions to "D osmuser name"? I assume it should be the
